I am having the same issue with cell light blinking. I've cleaned mine as well and no changes. Is the consensus that it must be replaced? I can add regular chlorine if I shut it off correct?

Quick follow up question I could use advice on: CC and FC are both between .5-1.0 and been holding in that range for past 2-3 days. CYA is between 60-70 and I understand that for SWG pools the CYA should be a little higher. Question is this: would using stabilized chlorine in a small amount...

Retested tonight after adding another 3 gallons of liquid chlorine: CC 1.5 FC 1.0. I'm getting there! Water is clearer today as well. Seem to be in a good spot now. I'll follow SLAM directions and add stabilizer hopefully tomorrow and then we should be good to go for the weekend! Thanks...

Got my TF-100 test kit and performed tests. Here are the results: Ph=6.8-7.2 (color of red was somewhere in that range) CYA= 60 TA=110-120 FC= .5 or less CC= 3-3.5 I have poured a total of about 10 gallons of liquid chlorine into the water and the clarity is ALOT better. Still a little hazy...

Okay, great good to know about the high FC reading bleaching out the dye on the strip. Didn't know that was possible. Like I said, I think I'm on the right track as water appears to be clearing nicely. Thanks again.

So I've added about 7 gallons of Sodium Hypochlorite over the past 12 hours. I'm not showing any FC at all on the test strip, even when I dip it into the pool right after dumping in the liquid. I realize the test strips are what they are, so when the new test arrives tomorrow I'll be able to...

Okay, that's what I think too. If the FC Shock level on the chart says 28, what does that mean? Does it mean raise the FC level to 28? Or does it mean something else? Trying to determine how many gallons of liquid chlorine I'll need for 17000 gallons and CYA probably around 50-60.

I drained a little over half the water and replaced it. The pump has been running for about 24 hours since it's been refilled. I'm waiting for my new test kit to arrive, but using a test strip it seems my stabilizer and alkalinity levels have dropped to normal levels, but my Total Chlorine...

Sorry, one other question: how does water become overstabilized? Too many chemicals? Wrong kind of chemicals?

Thank you very much. I'll start the process of replacing the water ASAP. Hopefully it will do the trick! - - - Updated - - - And I'll get myself a good, reliable test kit. I appreciate all the advice!

We have had our pool now for three seasons. We had the sand in our filter replaced last fall. When I opened the pool about 4 weeks ago, I got it clear and reasonably balanced without much hassle. I thought things were looking good. One of the issues was high alkalinity, so I put about 4...
